why I didnt buy this cue when I had the chance I dont know, I had several chances. the more I look at it the more I like it, I had a very bad first impression, no I love the looks-Steve I know its doubtful but if you ever think of selling it please letme know. Or trade it I have some stuff you might like, no rush, no pressure. I just missed out. But I still enjoy it cause I know where ist at and well taken care of.

Well, the IBC does have it's beautiful women, but this one might want to do a little more than just watch you play. She might want to put a 20, a 30 or a 50 on you as you sit and watch.
Say hello to Kristen Castaldo who played in our 14.1 league last session.

I never thought that I'll say this on this forum or on any other for that matter, but...
She is beautiful!

Burton Spain Remembered
I started playing pool & 3 cushion billiards when attending the University of Illinois in 1961. My first cue was a Brunswick "Willie Hoppe". In 1964 I met Herman Rambow in his shop on Walbash Ave. in Chicago, and he repaired one of the shafts on my Hoppe cue. In 1966 I had graduated, and finally purchased my Rambow cue. I believe he died a few years later. I played with it until ~ 1985, when I purchased my first of two Burton Spain cues (which I still use today).
When I visited Burton's home shop (on Division St. ?) to buy my second custom cue, I gave him my specifications (and desired model). He said I had just described his playing cue, which I bought on the spot at a discount. If Burton did this very often, he may have played with mostly new cues. He and I had the same high runs (10) in 3 cushion, but never had the opportunity of playing with him. He was a great guy.
